Graphic Cards Is it worth it to buy 9070xt now?

DLSS4 upscaling works on RTX 20 series, not to forget any game with DLSS 3 support can be upgraded to DLSS4 via the Nvidia software (so no need of intervention from game devs).

Sure FSR4 works on FSR3.1 supported games as well but still, there are just a very small % of gamers with GPUs that can use FSR4. This alone is the biggest con of FSR4 & will impact adoption. Anyways, let's see how it goes.

Try Optiscaler and use XESS with DLSS inputs on AMD 6000 or 7000 series card, then compare it with FSR3.1 implementation in the same game. I have a 6700XT and on Alanwake2 and Cyberpunk, you can clearly see just how much better even XESS looks when compared to FSR3.1/3.0.
FSR4 is way closer to DLSS but the support drop for old generation is sad.
I tried Optiscaler briefly but decided to use the native implementation of DLSS of the game I was playing. For no particular reason btw, I just didn't notice much difference maybe I didn't apply correct settings. Might give it a try next time I play a game that has it.

What's worse is that unlike NVIDIA who can use their market domination as a way to push DLSS4 frame gen, AMD doesn't have the same benefit for FSR4's frame gen. FSR4's adoption will 100% be impacted. (I just realised I typed the same thing just worded differently lol)

Will stock levels for the non-XT (or the XT) be good enough by August? Given that the non-XT's price hasn't reduced all that much since launch due to low supply, I don't really think supply will improve. Also, would the XT variant reduce to about 68k within that time?

You could say I could go for the XT variant, which is decreasing in price (some models are available for ₹71k) but I'm afraid it'll be a bottleneck for a R5 7600. (Based on this)

They might be, at least for non-XT variant if I have to guess. August is pretty far and non-XT variant isn't as popular as XT. But don't expect the price so drop so soon. Will probably need to wait a year if you want to see prices go down for real. (Unless NVIDIA wakes up and decides to lower their prices or launch another product). Only an insider will truly know.

Ryzen 7600 is perfectly fine with 9070/XT. Of course it might struggle with CPU intensive games as its an entry level processor for 7000 series but overall it's a good fit.

the difference is huge, the setup is also stupidly easy
